E-Hawk Wrestlers Down LeMars, ELC

January 23, 2018

LEMARS - The point can be argued that the 2017-18 Emmetsburg E-Hawks are dual champions of the Twin Lakes and the Lakes Conference in wrestling. Following a sweep over LeMars and Estherville Lincoln Central on Thursday night, Emmetsburg's only dual loss was to Spirit Lake, who was defeated by Storm Lake, whom Emmetsburg defeated to earn, in theory, a share of the Lakes Conference dual meet title.

While the E-Hawks are no longer members of the Lakes Conference, it feat is a feather in the cap for first-year coach Tyler Bjustrom and his grapplers as their season winds down.

On Thursday night, the E-Hawks manhandled Estherville Lincoln Central by a 69-12 tally and finished off with a 49-21 win over LeMars.
